THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

The Operating Committee discussed a 2027 budget strategy that includes bonding a capital improvement plan for the next 5–6 years of fire district capital needs. They have begun initial discussions with Kraus Anderson on project scope and cost, but specific projects and funding are still being shaped. This opens the door for construction, apparatus, station, and equipment vendors to help define the CIP, propose phased packages, and prepare for future RFPs tied to the bonded program.

Background

Discussion is at early stage; Kraus Anderson is already engaged in initial scope and cost conversations.
